How Much Is a Cubic Inch?

A cubic inch is a unit of volume equal to the space consumed by a cube with sides that are one inch in all directions. One cubic inch is equivalent to about 16.387 cubic centimeters or 0.554 fluid ounces.^[1]

How to Convert Cubic Inches

To convert cubic inches to another unit of volume, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.^[2]

You can find the conversion factors for cubic inches in the conversion table below.

Then, multiply the volume measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.

cubic inches × conversion factor = result
